It's times like this that I still wish I lived in L.A.

You can stream yo. They take questions from the internets as well.

Also, the writing for children panel is this Thursday in case anyone is interested.

Natacha,

Is there a link to the streaming sign up? I can't seem to find it on their site.

Thanks.

Anybody go to these last year? Was it worth the time?

Re: WGA Foundation: Notes On Craft 2010

It sold out before I could buy the series pass but I did go to the re-write one. It was great. I think they're only worth it if you care what the best, most successful working writers have to say. About anything.

I got my pass a while ago. If it sells out you can always stream it for $10.
